Sum-Frequency Scattering Spectroscopy Reveals the Charging Mechanism and Surface Structure of hBN Nanoflakes in Solution

Sylvie Roke, Aleksandra Radenovic, Nathan Cyprien Arsène Ronceray, Li Zhang, Benjamin Rehl

A molecular understanding of the interactions between two-dimensional (2D) layered materials and liquids is crucial for nanofluidics, catalysis, and solution-based 2D material processing. Among 2D materials, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has a number of ou ...

Liquid-activated quantum emission from native hBN defects for nanofluidic sensing

Aleksandra Radenovic, Martina Lihter, Evgenii Glushkov, Nathan Cyprien Arsène Ronceray, Tzu-Heng Chen, Benjamin Rehl

Liquids confined down to the atomic scale can show radically new properties. However, only indirect and ensemble measurements operate in such extreme confinement, calling for novel optical approaches that enable direct imaging at the molecular level. Here ...

Charge transfer across C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds stabilizes oil droplets in water

Sylvie Roke, Saranya Pullanchery Sankara Narayanan, Sergey Kulik, Benjamin Rehl

The hydrophobic-water interface plays a key role in biological interactions. However, both the hydrophobic-water interfacial molecular structure and the origin of the negative zeta potential of hydrophobic droplets in water are heavily contested. We report ...
